I made a service configuration file to run sexpots (for systems that use systemd) and made it available here:
http://www.digitaldistortionbbs.com:81/synchronet_stuff/sexpots_modem1.service

With that, you can use systemctl to manage sexpots (i.e., 'sudo systemctl start sexpots_modem1' and such - and it will automatically start when the system starts up, after running sbbs.service).

If you (or anyone else) wants to use that service file, it assumes it will read the configuration options from sexpots.ini, but you could put the command-line options you want in there.  Also, you'd need to change 'username' to whatever user account you want it to run in, and also change the file paths as appropriate for your system.
